Pity Poor Owlfancier. Imagining missing out on two decades of identikit Capeshit. His life is a cultural desert!

Mega Comrade posted:Season 1 of TNG is notoriously poor. There are like 2 episodes worth your time. S1 of DS9 is also notorious though, it just turns out that one's notorious for having some silly hopscotch scenes and the other's notorious for having Picard visit the planet of the superpredators. e: Zack Snyder ofc hasn't directed a superhero film since 2017.

This is unexpected. It looks like Keith's going to stab Corbyn in the back Starmer to distance himself from Corbyn in major speech quote:Sir Keir Starmer will on Thursday distance himself further from Jeremy Corbyn, vowing that his premiership would not be “vanity dressed up as virtue”. I'm shocked. I never saw any of this coming.

I think someone else posted about it but The Foundation is excellent if you like your hard sci-fi. Season 1 is a bit of a lore dump though. The concept is so interesting though, nothing else like it.

I love that zack snyder's fans are so reasonable and not insane that one mention of his poo poo miserable starwars reject movie (that has reviewed terribly) results in them threatening to poo poo up the thread for ten pages then saying some wild poo poo about his detractors weaponizing his daughters's suicide lol Zach snyner is apolitical and he's jusrt trying to make a fountainhead movie because hes an artist guys, also if you dislike his superman movie you're wrong because superman kills a facist at the end. Not going to think about how the followup uncritically makes batman into a violent murderer who brands his victims and suffers zero consequences something something billionaires watch the extended version.

Snyder Superman is utter dog poo poo. The only superhero film I’ve seen that’s bored me more was that godawful Pattinson Batman film that came out last year, made worse by every pretentious nerd pretending to love it. God I loving HATED that movie because it was so boring. Badly written, up its own arse shite. Now Snyder Watchmen, that was good fun. Totally sacrilegious to the graphic novel but I didn’t really care, it was a ton of fun and had some High Quality Violence and Banging Tunes.

I thought Pattinson Batman was alright but seeing it basically remake Batman Begins for a new generation did make me feel a thousand years old.

I have not seen a single Marvel movie and I refuse to watch any. The closest I've come is watching Jessica Jones the TV show. Also the Some More News super episode pointing how hosed up it must be to live in the Marvel cinematic universe where poo poo keeps blowing up and millions of people keep getting murdered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tt1HkiTcZ0

Tesseraction posted:lol it's still sci-fi chat I was hoping someone else would defend UK teevee and name-drop Space: 1999 when it came to trek shows, but here I am, a stranger in a strange thread  Although I might just have a soft spot for it since it was one of the first sci-fi shows I saw. The black hole episode is great, at least.

Rappaport posted:I was hoping someone else would defend UK teevee and name-drop Space: 1999 when it came to trek shows, but here I am, a stranger in a strange thread I'll recommend its spiritual predecessor UFO for some UK sci fi. For those that haven't seen it imagine a 60's vision of far-in-the-future 80s tech and fashion (ie hilariously wrong) with the models and effects of thunderbirds combined with bizarre plotlines from something like Sapphire and Steel. Also if you've played (original) XCom you'll recognise a lot of thematic similarities.

Seconding UFO, had an Interceptor when i was a kid.  Space 1999 was cool to. The we had Sapphire & Steel.

Flux Wildly posted:I like to view it this way. Wonder if they’d still end up going with Epstein drives though As someone who loves the Legend of Heroes metaseries, it is extremely annoying that Professor Epstein is a God-like figurehead who revolutionised science and technology and whose orbal system is used by everyone everywhere. And yes they picked the name before Epstein became synonymous with nonce. Synonceymous.

Just Another Lurker posted:Just wait for the Snyder Cut. lol that Netflix is actually, literally doing this with a whole-rear end original movie series as a marketing gimmick. For anyone unfamiliar, the Rebel Moon you can watch right now is the cut-down, chopped-up PG-13 version, and the 'real' R-rated version will be released sometime in 2024.

I think I've figured out zach snyder in that clearly his films are all filled with a deep subliminal message that demands you never stop making bad posts about zach snyder. this still goes through whether you love or hate the movie resulting in a never ending tsunami of tedious arguments in both directions on all corners of the internet. i watched watchmen like fifteen years ago but i think i merely got mind controlled into bad posting

Had a proper lol at this, thank you, the image is unhinged and I love it Sometimes shows need time to find their footing, and TNG is such a perfect example of this that successfully doing so is called growing the beard Counterpart is supposed to be some great scifi Best recent scifi is definitely Gundam The Witch From Mercury though
